The purpose of the Picket Fence Free Fall Lab was to examine the acceleration of objects as they fall to earth. During free-fall the only force that should be acting upon the object is the earth’s gravitational pull (9.8 m/s/s)‚ therefore the velocity of the object should always equal 9.8 m/s/s. In this lab the picket fence was dropped repeatedly through a photogate connected to Logger Pro‚ which allowed the fence’s acceleration and velocity to be recorded and graphed. The results of the experiment

physics honors Acceleration due to gravity by picket fence method Varun Kumar Pd 7 Saumya Kapoor & Tonia Li 9/26/2014 INTRODUCTION Acceleration is the increase or decrease in velocity. It can also be described as the rate of change in velocity. Acceleration is represented by the formula: . In this experiment we look at a specific type of acceleration‚ Free-Fall. Any object that is being acted upon only by the force of gravity is said to be in a state of free fall. There are two important

ABSTRACT: The lab of one dimensional motion is a series of experiments that deal with different types of motion in a single direction. In the first experiment‚ one dimensional motion of a small cart on an air track is measured in a one photogate system. The acceleration was calculated by the infrared light emitting electrode of the photogate sensing the slacks on the picket fence. The calculation for gravity yielded 9.63 m/s^2‚ which is consistent with the accepted value of 9.8m/s^2. In the
